We are involved in an ongoing role of 'policing' of the vision

Lightmoor is planned as the new, 21st century ‘Bournville’: an updated model village, for residents of all life stages, with quality of community life as a priority and environmental sustainability as a key influence.

Lightmoor Village is one of our longest running projects: we started with a feasibility masterplan, secured outline planning consent and continue to be involved as design champions and planning consultants.

The village comprises 1,000 homes, open space and a mixed-use village centre. Our comprehensive Design Guide defines an overall coordinating framework along with detailed design guidance for buildings, streets and spaces. This Design Guide forms the basis of parcel developer selection and implementation, ensuring that the design of each phase contributes to the masterplan vision.

The village has become a lively community. The opening of the primary school in September 2011, and completion of the mixed-use village centre were both key to supporting the social life of Lightmoor.
